A new Foo Fighters album is due out this fall and with the as-yet-untitled effort, HBO will air a new series chronicling the "eight-city odyssey during which the record was created."

The band officially announced their plans on Thursday, May 15, revealing that Foos frontman Dave Grohl directed the series which will visit studios in eight cities: Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York.

The band recorded one song at each stop with local legends sitting in (for example, members of Cheap Trick are said to be featured during the Chicago portion, according to a source) while the lyrics were written "in an unprecedented experimental style," reads a statement detailing the project. "Dave held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process."

The series, which Worldwide Pants is executive producing, comes on the heels of Grohl's directorial debut, the 2013 Grammy-winning doc "Sound City," which told the story of the Van Nuys, Calif. studio where Nirvana recorded the seminal album "Nevermind" and featured interviews with such iconic artists as Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Neil Young and Trent Reznor, among others. Similarly, the HBO series will, in Grohl's words, present "a love letter to the history of American music" with each episode exploring the cultural impact of these artists' hometowns.

The HBO series is produced in conjunction with James A. Rota, John Ramsay and Therapy studios, and written by Mark Monroe and Grohl for Roswell Films, a division of the Roswell Records label that releases Foo Fighters' music.

An official release date for the Foos' forthcoming eighth album has yet to be announced.

The thing is, the guy is involved in dozens of musical projects. He doesn't need money so there's really no incentive for him to pander to airplay interests.

Don't you think it's possible that FF just happens to be the outlet where he gets to express those things? He certainly has plenty of other musical outlets so he doesn't have to (or want to) put all of his creative juice into just Foo Fighters.

You know, if people didn't have emotional relationships with ballads, they wouldn't sell the way they do. Maybe Grohl is actually just a normal human being like the rest of us.

Nobodies saying Daves not a great guy. He definitely seems very humbled and greatful for the opportunities he's been given. I just think F.F have been putting out some underwhelming music for quite some time. People can have an emotional connection with ballads all they want, learning to walk again will still be an overplayed shitty song.

I'm not saying Dave Grohl isn't a good guy. Just that the music he makes is commercial radio rock. Foo Fighters, nickel back, breaking Benjamin, three days grace. Pop evil. Etc, etc. plenty of good non mainstream stuff out there but you gotta look for it.
Tsunami Rising, Pasadena, Doco, Katastro. SOOO many more!

You sound clueless, Wasting Light is an excellent album recorded entirely on analog tape and in DGs garage.

Do yourself a favor and drop the pretentious act judging others musical tastes.

If you hate the ffs why click on a thread about foo?

You're right, how dare I have an opinion about FF that you don't agree with. Maybe if you can't stand people with differing opinions on music than you, YOU shouldn't be on a message board. I'm not judging your musical taste by saying I don't like them and that they sound like other radio garbage. And how dare I talk bad about Dave God er Grohl. I don't care how the cd was recorded. I don't care for their music. My taste, my opinion. If there was a thread called "reasons the Broncos are great" on here you might click it even though you don't like the Broncos. So settle down Hitler people can have other views than just yours......

Cairo Santos I'm 4 feet tall, but got your girl butt naked in a bathroom stall, when the games on the line just gimme a call, I'll kick a 3 to victory that's the way I ball!!

You see Coochie, the difference is easy to understand so pay attention closely....

This is not a thread debating differing musical tastes, genres, or otherwise. Instead this was a thread created to specifically discuss the FFs new rock doc on hbo. I don't care what music you listen to, but when you stop in and blast the listeners of the foo fighters and compare the band to the likes of nickelback I take exception, not because of your opinion, but because of your uber pretentious soapbox take on music you obviously know very little about. I did not drop in on a thread about little known bands you proclaim gods and start claiming they suck ass and only the foo and their ilk are worth our time.

See the distinction?

Now run along troll, there are people trying to discuss IMO a damn good bands upcoming hbo series....

Omg, God you're funny. First you prob wanna go back and check as I proclaimed no bands gods. I gave my opinion on the band and offered a few bands that people might want to check out that are equally as good if not better than the crap they play on the radio. I'm sure you might agree that even as far as mainstream rock albums go most of the time they don't even play what some would consider the better tracks off the album. What the radio does is repeat the same songs over and over so if you don't like then immediately they will "grow on you" because they force feed it to you constantly. If you can't handle criticism for a band or a guy that you're obviously full blown Michael Sam for, then maybe a public message board isn't the place for you. So if calling me a troll makes you feel good about yourself then by all means I'm a troll or whatever cool name you call people with a differing view than yourself. Now go get your shine box.....

Weird. A person who can't stand what's played on the radio, yet knows all about what's played on the radio.

I don't understand people who come into a thread, knowing full well what it's about, and spew nonsense that's contrary - just for the sake of being contrarian. Then, when they've been thoroughly pulverized for said incompetence, they get on the defensive and put on their "buddy-buddy" hat.

Quit hiding behind the tired "you shouldn't be on a message board if you don't like other opinions blah blah blah BLAH BLAH" adage and GTFO. Stop breathing my air.

Suck a bag full of dick friend never seen such a bunch of thin skinned pussies in my whole life than I've encountered on one site. If you can't take the heat...

It's only music! Everyone has their opinions, that's what music is all about, you create your own interpretation. You like it or you don't, you have made your point that you obsessively don't like them.

Sorry, they made this announcement a few days before my birthday and I considered it a gift from them. I just woke up from blacking out due to pure excitement.

Seen them twice. Kemper and Sprint. When they tour again for the new album, I will be going to multiple shows. Best live show I have ever been to, hands down.

Damn, that good?! Have you seen Muse live? Pretty incredible, like a spaceship landing on your head. Probably similar to what Queen would have been like in their prime.

Btw I saw Muse at the Midland before they were HUGE and on the radio. Street cred?
